JEFFREY KARP

I don't won't you to think this is about me. I lost my wife to pancreatic cancer two years ago. I can't say any words to help you. It's a process But I would say this be blessed and live in the moment. Jeff would want you to enjoy life.

I was so moved by this obituary that I had to add my heartfelt condolences. Not your typical write-up, it shared none of the usual mundane biographical information. But it spoke directly to my heart. Yours was a longtime profound loss. Take solace in what you shared. Some have more time, but few have such depth. Thank you for reminding us all that family can make the commonplace extraordinary.

Hi Sam, great tribute to your dad and a nice way to remember him. Thinking about you and your mom.

Only knew him by reputation, it was said he was an intelligent student in HS.

Jeff was a dear friend & I will miss him greatly. Sending heart felt condolences.

So sorry for your loss and for the loss of another fellow Whitmer alumni! Prayers for comfort and healing to you and your family.

I knew Jeff at Whitmer High School. He was always witty and smart, and an all-around nice, friendly guy. It´s nice to know that he had a family who loved him so much. Rest in peace, Jeff.

Truly this man led a beautiful life...well educated, successful profession, and most importantly, a loving father. Thank you for sharing your story, as I am sure it touched more people than you could have ever imagined. May he Rest In Peace. Sending my deepest...

This was a heartfelt and beautiful remembrance of the son for his father. I have the same kind of remembrance of me with my father. We bonded over the American Royal Horse Show in Kansas City. He and I stood on the rail for more than 30 such horse shows for many years. I can still see us and the horses which were shown there. On his death bed, I was able to reminisce with my dad about the horse show and how that brought us together in a way like no other. To this day (at age 83) I still...
